a large effect on profitability. Mill operators have long used operating work indices to evaluate grinding circuit efficiency, with great utility. Operating work indices can be used to evaluate individual units in a conventional circuit or the overall performance of an autogenous-semiautogenous (AG-SAG)/ball mill circuit, but they are of

The feed material is lifted by the shell lining of the mill during rotation. Because of the gravity the material falls down and breaks as a result of the material impact. If the material is very hard or if the crushing is to be accelerated, grinding media can be added to the autogenous mill. In this case we speak of semi-autogenous mills.

Autogenous grinding is favored when the ore is quite competent and a fine grind is required. Semi-autogenous grinding is applied when fine crushing could cause severe problems or when ore is variable in hardness or competency. Figure 2 shows a typical conventional crushing-grinding circuit with three stages of crushing followed by ball mills or ...

–Compared with the traditional tumbling mill, the autogenous mill reduces the consumption of lining plates and grinding media, thus have a lower operation cost. –The self-grinding machine can grind the material to 0.074mm in one time, and its content accounts for 20% ~ 50% of the total amount of the product.

Autogenous mill is a self-grinding mill which is used in breakage of larger rocks. SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) mill is an autogenous mill which uses grinding balls, it is similar to ball mill but has large diameter and short length. Vertical mill is used in grinding material at smaller particle sizes, which is used after ball mill.

The mill design itself is a little different. In conventional mills the diameter of the mill is smaller than its length. In autogenous mills the diameter is greater than the length. They can be as much as 40+ feet in diameter. Patented in 1959, AG Mills are not so popular any more.
